Nemesis HP Features:
FIBER HYBRID CONSTRUCTION
The Nemesis HP would not be possible without our third generation Hybrid Cuben Fiber leading edge construction. Our exclusive use of Cuben Fiber allows us to design a faster flying, more aerodynamic and stiffer kite than can be achieved with any standard material. The Nemesis HP is the ultimate high performance kite, combining breathtaking performance, refined aerodynamics and unmatched usability.
VP2
Our new LE bridle and depower system deliver more than just increased depower from reduced bar travel. A dual short-throw pulley system optimizes load distribution between the wingtips and the center of the LE, giving a more rigid and stable kite that delivers less pitching, ensuring that stability remains unaffected by depower. VP2 offers the reduced-throw benefits and increased turning rate of a 2:1 rear line pulley system, with no back line pulleys and no increased bar pressure.
CUSTOM TUNE A-B-C
Rig and ride it your way. With our direct rear bridle setup you can rig your Nemesis HP for any blend of turning speed, depower and bar pressure. From unhooked riding to freestyle to big wave surfing; we are sure you will find a setup option that suits you perfectly, no matter where or how you prefer to ride.
E-Z PUMP TOTAL INFLATION SYSTEM
The E-Z pump inflation system allows one-shot inflation of the entire airframe of the kite. Already proven in the Bularoo and Yarga Hybrid kites, this feature is a must-have for riders who want to get out on the water fast. Revised for the Nemesis HP, the new E-Z pump system comes with standard inflate and high volume deflate valves. There is no more reliable total inflation system available.
CANOPY FRAMING TECHNOLOGY
Crashing your kite is a fact of life. The Nemesis HP is the only high performance kite designed with Canopy Framing Technology - the ultimate reinforcement system. The entire perimeter of each canopy panel on the Nemesis HP is supported with a continuously curved reinforcement zone, isolating the canopy from impact loads and delivering durability based on sound engineering.
LOAD FLEX LE SEAM
For 08, the load flex seam receives additional mark cloth internal reinforcement along with additional stitch reinforcement. Our unique three-layer webbing taped LE seam delivers the strongest LE on any inflatable kite. There is simply no stronger or cleaner seam construction.
SOLID AIRFRAME CONSTRUCTION
New for 08, all LE strut joints are laser cut, shaped and reinforced with Kevlar tape. There is no better way to connect the leading edge to the struts. Our construction gives the stiffest and lightest structure available, yielding a kite with exceptional performance and easy handling for riders of all abilities.
TEIJIN RIP-STOP CANOPY
If you want to cut corners you can buy cheaper fabric, but you certainly can not use anything better. We use Teijen Rip-Stop for our canopy material, as there is no better rip-stop cloth available.
DACRON WINGTIP PANELS
Multi-layer Dacron wingtip panels distribute turning forces for unmatched responsiveness and enable self-launching without risk of damage. Increased surface area at the wingtips gives greater turning agility, while our curved wingtip profile improves aerodynamics and eliminates vortex-induced drag.
ABC CANOPY PROTECTION
Ultra-durable upper canopy protection. Strategically placed ABC guard cloth protects the canopy and leach line from the worst the beach has to offer.
ABC STRUT PROTECTION
ABC cloth with enlarged Velcro fastening protects the strut ends and keeps the bladders locked in place.
RONSTAN HIGH LOAD PULLEYS
Precision Ronstan pulleys provide friction-free depower action. Combined with our new VP2 bridle design, they deliver unbelievable depower and wind range.
TE BATTENS
Precision tolerance fibreglass battens support the trailing edge canopy section and smooth the airflow over the trailing edge. Improved aerodynamics ensures faster turning and silent manoeuvring, while our smooth pocketed mark-cloth construction delivers outrageous durability.
CFT REINFORCED TRAILING EDGE
Like all kites in our 08 range, the Nemesis HP benefits from our exclusive CFT reinforced trailing edge, which provides razor sharp turning response and unmatched durability, even if you leave your Nemesis HP lying on the beach for days or weeks on end.
OPTIMIZED ASPECT RATIO
The Nemesis HP benefits from our new optimized aspect ratio shape. Combined with our VP2 design bridle system, this delivers all the incredible jumping and depower benefits of a high-aspect design SLE, with the turning and handling characteristics of a mid-aspect ratio surf kite.
SURF-TOUGH BUILD QUALITY
Our unique Canopy Framing Technology, LE Load Flex seam, fully-taped canopy and Solid Airframe Construction come together to deliver the most proven and trusted kite construction package in the industry.
HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIALS
The Nemesis HP uses only the best available materials and construction. When we can not find what we need to make the best kites in the world we develop and design it ourselves, like the precision parts for the E-Z Pump inflation system and our exclusive Cuben Fiber LE cloth.
